PC-DMIS Vision

PC-DMIS Vision - A new take on vision metrology

Bringing the power of PC-DMIS to vision measurement, Wilcox Associates has long set the standard for CAD-based, CMM software. Now, PC-DMIS Vision system brings these same tools and powerful new ones to the job of programming and inspecting parts on vision measurement machines. 

Vision metrologists now have the same capabilities long available to users of PC-DMIS CMM. In addition, because PC-DMIS Vision is a part of the Enterprise Metrology Solutions (EMS) family of software products, users have access to a wide range of additional analytical and reporting capabilities not available on competitive packages.

PC-DMIS Vision makes off-line programming a reality. Users can develop and prove their inspection programs off-line while leaving their measurement machine free for inspection. Users select geometry and define program parameters by pointing and clicking on a CAD model. There's no need to do a lot of typing and, because PC-DMIS Vision automatically extracts information from the model, it eliminates a major source of programming errors.

PC-DMIS Vision accurately simulates camera views and lighting. When programming on either the machine or off-line users, have full control over system parameters like lighting and magnification.

PC-DMIS Vision has the unique capability to reproduce precisely what the camera will see as it measures a part. When simulating program execution, programmers can switch between a CAD view and a virtual camera view, which actually changes in step with the inspection program.
